Movie Reviews of The Firm - Fast & Firm Series: Hips, Thighs, and Abs
Movie Review: Boring instructor, step is unnecessary, but good workout
Summary: 3 Stars
The music is okay in this one. I find Pam to be a boring instructor, though she is a nice lady. I prefer more dynamic leaders. She is obviously a former dancer. She has perfect form. She looks undernourished here, though. I have no problem with seeing women of different body types lead workouts, but she just looked a little too thin.
The warm-up and entire routine is done barefoot by Pam and her little crew of fellow instructors. The warm-up is pretty challenging, though, and I really prefer to do this workout with my shoes on. It just feels safer and more supportive.
I find the step to be completely unnecessary to the routine. I do the entire workout without it, and I still have to work hard. The step just seems to be a gimmick in this workout. It hurts your hands, hips, knees and arms to try to balance on this step. I just do everything on the floor, and it's much more comfortable, especially for a full-figured woman like me. I suppose the sculpting stick could be used for someone , but dumbbells work better for outer and inner thigh lifts, IMHO. I'm not advanced enough to need anything but my own body weight- my legs are heavy enough on their own! This is very thorough- it works the front of the thighs (which is frequently ignored in Firm workouts), the hamstrings, the inner and outer thighs. It also has bridge work. I would consider it to be a very complete floor workout for the legs and butt.
The ab work is separated so that you can do it alone, or with the leg work, which is nice. It's pretty challenging.
All in all, I like this workout, but I prefer Lower Body Sculpting from 1993 (a compilation of floor work from the classics series), Lower Body Sculpt 2 or Sculpted Buns, Hips and Thighs.
